There have become available something called Shuttered Venue Grants for musicians that have been impacted by Covid 19. It is available to individuals as well and could really help out those of us struggling in this economy.

Awhile ago a few of us used to get together at my steel guitar shop for the simple purpose of playing music that we liked. Jeanine Leder(vocals and acoustic guitar) moved to Nashville then Ohio and married a terrific guy Dave Ridenour, Bruce Tucker(bass) died from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Dennis Roberts(vocals. electric and acoustic guitar) got busy with his Vintage Timberworks business in Temecula and me(pedal steel and occ. vocals) continued my love of the steel guitar business. Fast forward to today- we all were yearning to do it again so we chose GarageBand as a medium and swap files remotely and Dave Ridenour is a great musician and singer so is now helping us out as well. Here is one of our latest ventures- a humble rendition of the Richard Thompson tune "Dimming of the Day" made quite famous by Bonnie Raitt.

We have since added a number of other songs so please check out https://jddj.bandcamp.com/
